Police say a teenager has admitted vandalizing the campaign office of New York Congressman Michael Grimm.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says the eighth grader told a school counselor that he and a friend had broken a window over the weekend at the office on Staten Island.
The spokesman said Tuesday that the boy was expected to be charged as a juvenile with criminal mischief.
“It is unfortunate that these young kids would commit such an act of vandalism, yet we are very relieved to know this is not politically motivated,” Grimm said in a statement today.
Grimm had reported the incident as a break-in. He also has alleged that someone had tampered with a computer server containing sensitive campaign information.
Browne said investigators were still examining the server.
